Orbit 30-12 on 8S?

[Adam Turner]

Anyone used this motor on 8S?
I hear that there have been people using it on 12S.
Just wondering if the amp draw might be to high for the rpm.

Tried it at the weekend and as expected it was not particularly good.

My experience with Orbits (20, 25 and 30) is that they perform best between 20 and 25k rpm, with about 24k being the best. Less than 20k and they're boggy under load. More than 25k and they get hot and sound unhealthy. On 8s, the 30-12 only hits about 18k.
